Library Schooled

i can’t believe that i’m on my way becoming a librarian as i’m pursuing my master’s in library and information science. it’s a matter of taking a break from spacing out and recommending strangers what books to read so i could focus on the upcoming cataloging midterm tomorrow.

a idea to spice up the reference desk

Cosplay.

No, put away that skimpy nurse outfit and the police uniform. You got it wrong… that’s role play, you perv.

Anyways, dress up something from manga/anime. And yes, cosplay is not limited to dressing up like Jane Eyre, Erza Pound, James Joyce, your canon little friends. Or dress up like a big giant book… then again, no, don’t do that.

Then you’ll get a line of people with questions, probably being “what the hell?” or “what are you?” Crazy idea, but it’ll get people’s attention, and when you’re just dressed as a typical librarian (not the stereotype, but hipster is okay, i guess), you might see those same people again, with real questions.

For me, I would choose Ichigo. Aw yea.

thought i start it from a yonkoma approach in terms of comics.

I wish procrastination was a physical entity so I could punch it in the face.

got me this scar from a query in ‘95. it was about cats.

Because people still give me this incredulous look when I tell them that’s my chosen career path.

[reblogger’s note: check this out. A well-written response to this question.]

From the youngest age, I was a denizen of the local public library. I loved to sit there all day, and read, read, read and when I left, I dragged huge garbage bags full of books home so I could continue reading into the night. The library is the first and last refuge of the sensitive, the socially inept, the future reader and writer, and not a few scoundrels (sometimes all the same person!). Librarians have profound influence on their lives.

introduction to library schooled

Heyllo reader!

I’m D.L.

Currently, I’m in my second semester of grad school so I could get my Master’s in Library Information and Science and get a job as a librarian.

The theme of this Tumblr will be about anything pertaining to libraries and books. There will also be cartoons and comics drawn by yours truly.

You could also find me on Twitter.
